SPRINGFIELD AREA-WIDE BOOK DRIVE OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2015

Friday, October 9th, 2015

Six years ago, some Chatham, Illinois Elementary school teachers launched their own project to get brand new Christmas books into the hands of kids to promote reading, after the annual “Friend in Deed” was unable to continue a book program. It was so successful that it has now become a county wide Christmas Book Drive, in Abraham Lincoln’s home region!  In recent years, the Christmas books have been distributed alongside Toys For Tots (United States Marine Corps) at the Prairie Capitol Convention Center and this year, the organizers, led by Jane Byram are hoping to make it the biggest and best ever! Springfield Area Business Men In Christ will be coming alongside Jane and her team and providing as much assistance as possible in order to achieve this goal to surpass the 4150 books distributed in 2014!
